The Endless Knot
Celtic Knots symbolize a rebirth or continual cycle of life. How appropriate for this machine to be decorated with the Celtic knot decals. After replacing the missing parts (the lost limb) and a good cleaning with oil, life has returned to this once sad soul. This machine is a true warrior! I still need to spend time cleaning the machine, but I gave it a quick test run (out of treadle) to see how well it stitches. This machines surprised me! It produced one of the prettiest stitches (top and bottom) on the very first test.

I may have missed it, but what model is this very very very cool machine? The tension knob looks just like an old Wheeler Wilson's.
ReplyDeleteHeehee... that's because most of the parts are from the old Wheeler & Wilson D9. Singer bought out the W&W factory in 1905 and used up all the parts in the Singer 9W. This machine is one of the few out there with the serial # which starts with a W and is located on the back. One difference is in the bed size, Singer is a bit larger. This machine is a Singer 9W1.
ReplyDeleteand when and how did Breanna the many liberated?

ReplyDeletePretty. I haven't seen those decals in the wild yet.
